This is the first venture between de Montille and Pierre Peters. Working in California, they bring the French knowledge to the New World, and are making it their own thing. This is a rich powerful Chardonnay teeming with lemon peel, punchy minerality, and the finesse, you would expect from a collaboration between these greats.

Antonio Galloni

AG 90
"The 2020 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills Cuvee is a solid, entry-level offering from Racines. Apricot, lemon confit, tangerine and light tropical accents all grace this open-knit, inviting Chardonnay. This is a pretty overt style, but it works nicely. " -Vinous

What importer Polaner Selections has to say about this wine...

VINEYARD
The Racines Sta Rita Hills Chardonnay is sourced from a blend of sites they work with in the Santa Rita Hills, the majority coming from La Mesa Vineyard and the Wenzlau Vineyard. La Mesa Vineyard, which sits to the very western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills, is leased to us by Domaine de La Côte. Wenzlau Vineyard, which is part of our estate holdings, sits surrounded by Rita’s Crown, Mt. Carmel, and Sea Smoke Vineyards, on a steep, dramatic hillside just above the Santa Ynez River and across from the famed Sanford & Benedict Vineyard.
SOIL
Sorento loam
VITICULTURE
Farmed using organic methods
VINIFICATION
The wines were fermented in a combination of 500L puncheons and 228L barriques, resulting in about 10% new wood on the wine. After a little under a year in barrel, the wines and all the lees were moved to tank for an additional five months of cellaring. This is a wine that we believe best represents the potential of the region as a whole. Fermented using all native yeasts
AGING
16 months total, 11 months in French, oak barrels (15% new) and 5 months in tank
